guardian.co.uk The invite, which shows the Apple logo superimposed over a series of graffiti-style paint splatters, gives few clues as to what Apple will announce at the event.

Now, now. Use your noggin. Colors. Paint. Freeform. Outside the margins. Creative. Do whatever you want? Layers. Layers? Be original. Lots of splatters. Kids? Education? (Little mouse suggested as much to me. A smart little mouse.) (Did you know that Steve Jobs has no sense of humor whatsoever?) (Which makes Dan Lyons even funnier, even more talented, more necessary to this world.) (Where was I.)

Can’t get over the different edges of the shapes. Obvious spray-paint effects. Obtainable how? Hope it’s not just brushes and more brushes.

Think Different. Graphic, to my knowledge anyway, a complete departure. One might almost say messy. At least by Apple standards—see gorgeous iPod illustrations (commercials.) Sharp sharp sharp.

Am but amateur. Others, wiser, will know. Color. Said that? Obvious: user to go wild.

A hint? Apple cutting user more slack? Am sick of slackless iPhone, even jailbroken—whole little computer, want to compute! Whatever it is I do. More than send mail and browse App Store for freebies.

Want to write, have gained no speed whatsoever on iPhone, er, keyboard. Wish had little buttons, don’t care if size of Tic-Tacs. iPhone keyboard so damn sensitive, fumble, am dead. Yes, HapticPro installed. Errors now vibrate.

Yes, Koi Pond modern miracle, Ocarina glimpse of our future. So damn beautiful, that little living earth, the night side aglow with little lights, whole globe so malleable—shrink, expand, twirl. Planet in yr. fingers.

Word “Creation” major signifier. Same: airbrush-y outside the margins. Lord, I hope this is something more than Scribbles. Though tad late for prayers.
